Pursuing a noise-free gaming experience

Palit isn't a name you see bounced around too often in the U.S., though if you dig around online, you can find the company's products scattered about.
Two of Palit's newest offerings fall under its new KalmX Series of silent graphics cards
-- GeForce GTX 750 and GeForce GTX 750 Ti. Both of these Maxwell cards sport Palit's new passive cooler for a 0dB solution (provided there's no electrical noise).

The
KalmX cooler
consists of two nickel plated heat pipes that snake through a "vast volume" of nickel plated fins to keep the GPU and RAM from overheating. There's also a copper base.

No external power is required for either card, which is really a testament to Nivida's Maxwell architecture than anything else. The
750 KalmX
and
750 Ti KalmX
are almost identically spec'd with base and boost clockspeeds of 1,020MHz and 1,185MHz, respectively. However, the 750 features a memory clocksspeed of 2,505 MHz to achieve memory bandwidth of 80.16GB/s, while the 750 Ti's memory runs at 2,750MHz for 88GB/s of bandwidth. There's also a slight difference in TDP -- 60W (750 Ti) versus 55W (750).

Palit didn't say when these cards will be available to purchase or for how much.
